Oh! once the harp of Innisfail
Was strung full high to notes of gladness;
But yet it often told a tale
Of more prevailing sadness.

'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
And robes the mountain in its azure hue.

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.

A stoic of the woods—a man without a tear.

Gertrude of Wyoming (1809)

Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame,
The power of grace, the magic of a name?

The Pleasures of Hope (1799)

Oh, how hard it is to find
The one just suited to our mind!
